Charging Infrastructure at Lemvig St.

Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S has purchased 7 battery trains as part of the green transition, and this strategy aligns with their goal to be the “greenest” railway in Denmark.

The trains will serve the Holstebro and Skjern lines, as well as Vemb, and Lemvig to Thyborøn.

The battery trains are different from regular electric trains as they do not need tracks with electric power lines above them. Instead, they will charge up at specific stations with suitable charging facilities, such as the one in Lemvig. Lemvig has been designated as a central charging point for the new battery trains that will operate on the Vemb/Lemvig and Lemvig/Thyborøn lines. As a result, they will need to develop a new charging infrastructure at the station.

The contract includes a complete power supply and catenary system, to be able to charge the future battery trains, supply for the electrical power system and prepare for future PV and BESS.

The full scope of the contract appears in the tender documents.
